As the carbon markets evolve, we help reduce the risks, generating more confidence, enabling capital efficiencies and encouraging more investment in high-quality carbon projects.

Risk protection? Capital efficiency? Reputational concerns? Insurance can help.
Who are we?
We are committed, climate-conscious folks who came together to bring about real, measurable improvements for the environment - at scale and at pace. We knew there was a missing link in the carbon markets: not enough risk mitigation. Companies had to rely on self-insurance; handling all the risk themselves. Third party insurance - what we do - enables risk transfer.
That means more confidence, more investment and, ultimately, more high-quality carbon solutions taking CO2 out of the atmosphere.
Want to know more?
We offer carbon insurance products covering a range of risks, with customisation that takes into account the factors that are unique to each transaction. We pride ourselves on working closely with our clients to understand their needs, and undertaking extensive due diligence so that our insurance products act as an additional stamp of confidence.
